if you weight longevity and sustaining a very high level more, he has a good amount of work to do to catch up to Fed.
Yeah, how one defines it is certainly important, but I think when most people say GOAT, they're largely talking career achievement. Or at the very least, a player has to have a certain level of career accomplishment before we can start looking at his peak. But alternative definitions are certainly acceptable.
Since the other two guys that are in the discussion have won all four slams and he hasn't, I think that's going to be the easiest criticism. Of course, it seems like a foregone conclusion that he's going to get a French open win in the near future.
